What are the biggest IT issues on your farm?

[joedales]

We are wondering what problems, opportunities etc that everyone has in their operation?

Thanks,

Probably the lack of high speed access. Still stuck using dial up. Probably going to get an internet stick as cant even get connected sometimes.

The nice thing about the internet stick is that you are mobile so can access the net anywhere you have your laptop.

We use it when we are on the road in it works well at farmshows....we are at a few outdoor shows the next couple of months in tents and it gives us pretty good high speed.

I know the government has been trying to make sure everyone in rural areas has access to high speed because they think it will help in economic development. I would check with your local economic development office to see what they are doing.

Good luck and let us know how it works.
We have been using a Telus stick for the past 3 years...seems to work fine for us.

Take care,
